I was selling a Nokia N95 phone from an unwanted contract upgrade, and I had a little bit of interest and Irteza (Ov3rclock3r) was interested ini it, but couldn't afford the full amount. He said he was desperate for a phone and so he started talking about a PS3 that his brother was going to give him and we spoke about making a deal. I trusted him because he has done alot of deals before and seems pretty trusted. Our deal was that I sent him the Mobile plus £80 and he would send me the 40gb PS3 with 2 controllers. I agreed and we sorted it out. 7th of may, I deposited £80 into his bank account and posted him the mobile phone, and then told me he would book the courier in the next hour, that never happened and he said he booked it late and because it was past the pickp time it would be picked up the next morning, he told me he would send it by DHL 48hr delivery. I waited until monday, then gave an extra day for it to show before I contacted him again. I contacted him telling him it hadn't arrived and all I got was "hasnt it arrived yet"?
On the 5th May 'OV3RCLOCK3R' listed a Nokia N95 on HotUKDeals and was offered a straight swap for a ps3, 2 controllers, 3 games. (

The phone is brand new and the box is still sealed. Comes with 1gb mem card aswell!
Looking for quick sale so will listen to offers and pics will be uploaded tomorrow!
He also just got negative feedback there from his latest 'deal' on HotUKDeals:

- Also, if anyone wants to contact him he still seems to be active on HotUKDeals, yesterday he offered £50 bank transfer for someones 'Powercolor HD 3850 512MB PCS' (

Feel free to delete any of this information if you feel it inappropriate to post, my friend was scammed by him a while back too so we wanted to find any information that might be helpful before reporting him. If he did have a car accident like his "brother" said of course that's exceptional circumstances and understandable, but the fact that over the last 2 weeks he (well, his username) has been active on various forums and still hasn't refunded my friend (or anyone else by the sounds of it) it seems unlikely.
